Cynical?????? - Me ???????????????
I wonder why Swine Flu has taken such a grip in the UK? 100,000 new cases a week - wow. Is it maybe because the vast majority of cases are diagnosed over the phone and/or via helpline? Just how many of these Swine Flu cases are ordinary flu or plain and simple summer colds and chills?
We Brits are so funny - nothing quite like taking things seriously eh?
Not sure but I think counties are not obligated count swine flu cases any more.
I wonder why a friend of mine whos a gp son has swine flu and he said he will not be having the medication,
It makes you wonder, he said he is fit enough and the antibodies he will gain out weigh the risks of the medication.
I have had normal flu once a few years back, and you are really ill, high temperture aching everywhere with a pounding headache, I could not get out of bed for 4 days if I wanted to.
I really don't know what the flus have that are so different from each other.
you dont have to take the tamiflu, its ur choice altho i think they recomend that people with other health problems take it
they say that its helpful in preventing further complications in people with asthma etc
a chest infection or worse is awful for asthmatics
Oh, no...........................
Just heard on the radio that some people are taking advantage of the swine flu hysteria and getting themselves diagnosed on the phone and extending their summer holidays. Expected to cost industry billions and raising questions about the integrity of workers.
Well !!! would you fucking believe it !! Who would have thought that??
Above comment absolutely spot on.
I read on the BBC website that cases this week had dramatically dropped, I wonder if that's because all the malingerers have used up that excuse.
It's amazing all the known scivers at work have all had it, indeed one twice. Nobody else has.
Well after all the hype and over exageration, Swine flu it seems has just been a load of hot air.
I am not a lover of Mr. Littlejohn but this artical is absolutly bang on the money.
new cases every day eh? What a load of old balloney.....how much are these so called experts on a year? A lot more than they should be.
As I stated much earlier in this thread.....the ammount of people that have died on our roads far far far outweighs the Swine flu " pandemic ".....or did they say " epidemic "? Neither has happened and a typical over reaction which once again has cost millions of pounds of taxpayers money.
This Government could not run a bath properly!
It must be said, that a lot of people who work for the NHS (including myself) have worked very hard in the past few months putting in place many preventative measures to avoid cross-infection between medical staff and patients. I think the telling time will be when kids go back to school and the weather turns colder. Little Johnny sneezes in class, and other kids catch the virus and before it mutates to full-blown symptoms, they visit their grandma in the home. Grandma then goes to the bingo evening with Doris, who sneezes. It can spread very easily, given the right conditions. I don't believe we've reached the right conditions yet, but we may very soon.
Deaths each year in the uk from hypothermia far exceed road deaths. We're still trying to stop global warming though.
At least we have an nhs under this government, the blue alternative will sell it to their friends, as they always have done. In any case, they're damned if they do anything and damned if they don't.
The forecasts for this current H1N1 virus are based upon past epidemics. The last one had a small flurry of cases and then after another 6 months the "second wave" arrived. Most seasonal flu does exactly that.
In any case, nobody has ever died from influenza. The deaths come from secondary illnesses, mainly pneumonia.
I find website to offer the most understandable explanation for the reasoning behind the current H1N1 influenza outbreak and subsequent panic. I think it is better to be prepared and spend some tens of millions on that preparation than spend hundreds of millions burying the dead. But that may just be me.
It is only illegal to sell 100 watt incandescent bulbs intended for HOUSEHOLD use. It is still legal to sell them for other uses.
As for the effects on the enviro-eco-nment of stopping sales of the hot bulbs....in winter your heating costs will rise by an amount equivalent to the amount of watts you reduced by switching to cold bulbs !
Money-earner ?
Did you EVER think it was about anything else ?
There is NO evidence...NONE...that global warming is caused by CO2 emissions. There is plenty that CO2 emissions are increasing plant growth though...and even if the arctic ice melted entirely it would not raise the oceans levels at all...Not. One. Bit.
Just now JTS, I am half way through reading a book called State of Fear by Michael Crichton which is surprisingly close to what you have said.
All is not as it seems or as we are fed by the Government machine :shock:
Back to the OP.
How about IMMUNOCONTRACEPTIVE hidden in the flu vaccine?
Worrying stuff eh?
Is this why BLiar didn't have his son Leo vaccinated in 2000 with the MMR vaccine?
" The total number of vaccine doses administered to the priority groups in England was million. This figure includes 140,000 pregnant women and 404,000 healthy children aged six months to under 5 years ".
Hardly the whole population.
In fact out of all the people that I know...and that is a lot, I do not know of a single person that had the jab.
Maybe the Swine flu scare never actually happened at all?
You say that and I say something else.
The figures indicate only a small ammount or people were ever vaccinated!
We actually get plenty of mail.
You really do need to read what people write.
I said quite clearly that I that is me....did not know anyone who had the jab.
Ok so others do...so what?
The whole point of the thread for me was that I did not believe all the bollox surrounding the Swine flu pandemic.
Now Google the figures showing how many actually had the jab, and if you are clever you will find that a large percentage of people did not.
Cannot understand how you can fail to recognise that.
Anyway I bet you get tons and tons of mail.....
" In fact out of all the people that I know...and that is a lot, I do not know of a single person that had the jab ".
It is only just above ya know.
